Now that you know something about the history of gender expectations for adolescents, how do you think they are likely to change (if at all) in the course of the 21st century, and why?
Part 2: Response the peer.
Emily, I feel like gender expectations have already started to make a change in some ways. I feel like women now have a push to be the provider for the family instead of being who stays home and takes care of the kids. We also have a lot of freedom to express ourselves in what we wear, our makeup, and even hair styles.
There is definitely a lot more acceptance for the LGBT community. Over the 21st century I think it is going to change more in favor of everyone being more acceptable.
The basic roles of being a woman vs being a man are becoming out of date which is leading to more freedom in what we do. I think that gender changes and the stereotype of blue for a baby boy and pink for a baby girl could possibly become a change.
I also think in some way gender expectations still are a thing. The mother is usually the one to take care of children’s doctor appointments or when they are sick. I feel like over the 21st century this might become a change because women are pursuing more careers and being the provider.
The father in those situations might have to step up and not do the basic gender expectations.
